What Islam needs is a Shelby Spong kind of figure.
I remember my religious studies teacher a few years ago saying that Islam has yet to go through the peroid of questioning and sceptisism that Christianity has been through in the last few centuries.
Personally, I'd love to see the end of Fundamentalism, but I don't see it being done with a bomb. The slow painful process of reason is what will do it. Maybe...?
The Russians, I believe, have a saying: Religion is like a nail, the harder you hammer it, the deeper it goes.
As for Mundine. Give him a break. He was punch drunk from the night before. I think Watters gave him a good one in the 1st...Mundine then decked him in the 2nd, I believe?
I think the host of TODAY was a little punch drunk too. He asked heaps of dumbass questions. But You'll be happy to know that the censor guy wasn't. Mundine only got half way through critizing the US, and then they cut him.
